Although the article had many favorite parts, I think the best was that she had originally planned to write the book as nonfiction, but decided not to in order to protect her sources.
Hear that? It's the sound of any credibility smashing into a Million Little Pieces.....
How long will if be before she sues Don Brown for plagiarism?
Speaking of The DaVinci Code, take a look at the "ye olde books" section of Lane Smith's website at:

If her agent believes her, who are we to be skeptical?
Did anyone see the CBS "60 Minutes" segment fairly recnetly on the "Da Vinci Code?" They pretty much said it's one of the best hoaxes ever perpetuated....oh, well..."60 Minutes" has perpetuated a few things of its own....one has to wonder how many people out there are believing that book is nonfiction...eeeh!
